I have been reading many thread in F/P and mage forum and is getting confused about which one to get I know, now, wand 5 is probablly better. Than I read about paralize or something that is better and its poisoned based after BB Mind telling me why which one is better?

wand 5 still might be better because big bang is going to become the main training skill and it becomes a fire type attack. but paralyze is still pretty good so wand 6 might be just as useful.

Why would BB be the main training skill? Para becomes mob 5/6 or 6/6, and stops all the monsters in there tracks. As well it does not get weaker. And DOT. Poison will be worth more. Para will be the main skill, And the main Boss skill.

Whichever wand the poison one is. Paralyze will hit mobs of 6 at 640% damage AND will DoT them, which is seperate from the mist DoT and any fire DoTs that you can inflict on the enemy.

[/quote] ...Have you seen any archmage training videos with big bang being the main skill? -.- Big Bang sucks as a training skill post BB. Paralyze/Chain Lightning are superior in both training and bossing aspects. Get an Elemental Wand 6. GothTsukasa Paralyze does get weaker with each additional target like CL/Blaze.

[/quote] I lol'd at this. Big bang has a charge time if you didn't know... Sure it's useful while moving towards a mob, but not much else. Paralyze will still be an F/P's main training skill.

Get the poison (6?) one if you are aiming for post bb. Fire (5?) if you want one for pre bb.

Magic attack post big bang will act a lot like weapon attack, and thus you'll deal much more damage with an estaff unless the ewand is godly scrolled/godly potential.

Ele Staff 6 is the best if you can get it. Next best should be Ele wand 6 then Ele staff 2 and Ele Wand 2

Ele Wand/Staff 6 is already better than 5 for F/Ps. The only thing you need 5 for right now is Meteor, and since Meteor's been buffed so much and the Potential System came out you don't even need 5 to 1hko Skeles.
